Yeah, like you know, 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280 this one is like you know, planning out like a 57 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,039 level or something like that.

There's like a little coffee stain, like an 60 00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:49,919 intentional coffee stay in the top of this. 61 00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,719 Speaker 2: Too, which is very cute attention to detail. 62 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: And then of course the head honcho here is like 63 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,479 the full UFO fifty companion book. So there's like a 64 00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:02,199 page it's almost like it's like two pages for every 65 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 single game in here, so you know, the classic strategy 66 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,439 guide stuff of like all the stats, all the different characters, 67 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,039 maps for games, and like none of the you know 68 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,319 you for fifty doesn't have tutorials, it doesn't have maps 69 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:14,840 for any of the games. So many of the games 70 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,319 are impossible to figure out, and so I mean this 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,800 would have been nice when I when the game first 72 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,240 came out, but it's just really there's like things the 73 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,240 notes of the back here.

With this purchase, you have a fifty very 78 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,960 special game, very cool game, and very much like of 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,280 the time when you would have strategy game strategy guides 80 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560 and you have physical versions and stuff. So it just 81 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,280 feels right to have something physical for this game. So 82 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,840 very very happy with this purchase. 83 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:47,919 Speaker 2: I bet it smells like yu Yo cards too. 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,879 Speaker 3: I always love that smell of a fresh, fresh game 85 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:55,039 companion novel. Yeah, absolutely, no, that's awesome. It's funny like 86 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,159 looking back on that era. I remember famously my cousin 87 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,560 had the like strategy guide for Legendzelda wind Waker, and 88 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,520 like there's probably internet back then, but like definitely no smartphones, 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,120 so it'd be like like very limited access to like 90 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:11,479 online guides and stuff like that. 91 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,039 Speaker 2: So that was like the Holy Bible. 92 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: Like if somebody had those like companion pieces, they were 93 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:18,279 just changing the whole game of especially a game like 94 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,879 Legend Zelda that yeah, you know doesn't have really great 95 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,480 quest indicator markers, especially those earlier titles. So yeah, it 96 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,560 was just a powerful piece to be claim. 97 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: Of those yourself. For specific games, I didn't have a lot. 98 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,120 I just had like a handful. So the ones I 99 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,879 did I did have like art quite memory. 100 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I had like Warcraft three and like Agent Mythology 101 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,600 ones like all those art like definitely all like the 102 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,040 PC games that I had as a kid. Uh, probably 103 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,279 like Simpson's Hit and Run, but like that was very limited. 104 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,199 I don't think they were like strategy guys on there. 105 00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,319 It's just like I remember flipping through because you know 106 00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:54,079 they'd come in a box and then they would always 107 00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:57,079 have at least a manual or something about uh, just 108 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,360 some content in the game. I think Star Wars battle 109 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:03,879 Front two had one also also that was like Star 110 00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:05,639 Wars battle for two. I remember that one had like 111 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,639 five discs. It was like five or six install discs. 112 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,639 It's funny just looking back on on that, how you'd 113 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:13,040 have like a play disc and then just a bunch 114 00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,160 of different installed discs just to get the game going. 115 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240 But uh, yeah, I think it was just kind of 116 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Warcraft three that I had, like an actual bigger one, 117 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,399 and that was awesome because that was like getting into 118 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,000 the lore and just the different factions, the different races, 119 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,279 and I think that just like just found my love 120 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,160 for that universe. It's probably a good thing that I 121 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:31,879 never got like World Warcraft back in the day, because 122 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:33,959 I probably I would have been hooked for life, I 123 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:36,279 think if I got into that game at that time, 124 00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:36,759 because I. 125 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: Was just so in love with the lore. 126 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,439 Speaker 3: Fortunately, you know, the RTS game did a really good 127 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,000 job with the story and everything also, so I just 128 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,720 got hooked on that. 129 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's it. 130 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: And then, of course, like I said, the Legionzellda Winwaker one, 131 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,240 but I think that was just my cousin that owned that. 132 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, speaking of Agian Mythology, did you listen to 133 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:54,120 that song? 134 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: I did. Actually, it's really good age of mythology kid. 135 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,399 I really really liked it. 136 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: I feel like it reminds me of a similar type 137 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,040 of vibe that I've listened to in the past. So 138 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,560 I'm kind of surprised that I haven't just heard it 139 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,079 on like my Spotify radios, because you know, like sometimes 140 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:10,399 they'll just they'll play songs that sound similar. 141 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: Like Under the Radar Band at this point. Yeah, I mean, 142 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:14,560 it seems like they've been doing a lot of marketing 143 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,959 with this album, so maybe they'll blow up a little 144 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,399 bit more. But yeah, I mean, I guess they're little too. Yeah, 145 00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,800 I put on coming in the rotation I put on. 146 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,879 Speaker 3: I don't know if I clicked on the whole album 147 00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:24,199 or if I just like went to the radio of 148 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,240 that specific song souse. I remember a couple other ones 149 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,759 by them pulled up, but yeah, no, I really liked it. 150 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Good recommendation. 151 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. The two guidebooks that come to mind for me. 152 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,920 One is Animal Crossing on the game Cube, and that 153 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,000 was great because you know, there's so many cheat codes 154 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,360 in that game, like there's a cheek code for like 155 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,399 just an insane amount of furniture and things like that. 156 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:46,720 So it was really nice to just have like this 157 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480 full catalog like Jews whatever you want, and it would 158 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,439 show you like the full sets, and each page would 159 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,399 have like here's what all like the kittie furniture looks like, 160 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:56,720 here's what like the exotic furniture looks like and yeah, 161 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,839 I remember that one. I think it probably had like 162 00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:01,319 a little bio on all the different villagers. So I 163 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:02,959 remember like as a kid, me and my sister looking 164 00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,839 through that and like, oh, really want to like get 165 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,199 this one to come to our island. I don't know 166 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:07,920 if there's way you can, Like I think it's just 167 00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:10,560 completely random, right, but we were just looking through like hoping, 168 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:12,680 hoping that this one would show up one day off 169 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,839 the train. And then the other big one for me 170 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,040 was definitely fire Arms on the Sacred Stones, and that 171 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:20,600 was great because it had you know, all the all 172 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,600 the classes, all the I mean the art in that 173 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,399 game is amazing, so even just looking through the art 174 00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:26,639 was really fun. But it had like all the classes, 175 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,399 the growth, the the you know subclasses, the trees that 176 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,360 they would build into, and it kind of like recommended 177 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,519 character builds to do for each character, had like full 178 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:37,519 glossy of all items in that. And then you know 179 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:39,639 in every fire Bloom game it's always like if you 180 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,519 walk onto this specific tile and you have like fourteen 181 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,800 luck or whatever, it is like you'll get some random 182 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,000 item drop. So just like have that for all these 183 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,759 certain maps, like whenever you're on like a desert map, 184 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,279 there's always hidden items all over the place, right, and 185 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,879 so to have like, okay, and if you send these 186 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240 six squares, you have like a fifteen percent chance to 187 00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,480 get this thing. And I just remember, like I still 188 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920 even play throughs later, if I wouldn't open the book again, 189 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,360 I would still remember, like, oh yeah, I think if 190 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,879 I go roughly right here with a character that has 191 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120 like high looks dad, that I'm gonna be able to 192 00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:11,000 find some item here, you know, details like the different 193 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:12,920 routes and all that kind of stuff. So those are 194 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,279 the two that I remember. I don't know where that 195 00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:16,160 firem Bloom one went. I know I've looked forward in 196 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,160 recent years, and who the heck knows where it is 197 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,720 in my parents' house. I hope it's not gone forever. 198 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,199 I'd like to find that again one day. But I 199 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,519 think I have the Animal Crossing one in my house 200 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,160 somewhere now. But yeah, I miss miss those days. I 201 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,199 think they probably still make some of those, Like obviously 202 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,879 UFO fifty just got one here, but that's like a 203 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,320 limited run thing. They don't just spam them for every 204 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,799 game these days. But I mean even just in general, 205 00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:40,639 physical hard physical anything for games just kind of going 206 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,759 away a little bit other than actual consoles. 207 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean even. 208 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: Like the retail stores, right, Like there's way less like 209 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,960 ev games and game stops and stuff like that around. 210 00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,039 Speaker 2: At least in my neighborhood. 211 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, maybe there are still tons of 212 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,279 these books and I just don't even go to the 213 00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,120 store to like see if they are there. Maybe that's 214 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,320 what it is there. I feel like there's very few games, 215 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,480 you know, it is very few, Like I'll get limited 216 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,000 edition for like Splunky two or you know, Into the 217 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,879 Breach when they did that UFO fifty. Usually for like 218 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:08,440 more indie indie things is more because it's just rare 219 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,480 to find physical anything for like smaller indie gas and whatnot. 220 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,279 But uh m hmm, there's a fun little tangent there. 221 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,440 How about with that we can jump into games we've 222 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,360 been playing. I'll start with my stuff because we can 223 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,440 build up yeers because yours will kind of segue perfectly 224 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,440 into our main topic later in the episode. But I 225 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,080 think it's now is a good time for me to 226 00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:29,240 talk a little bit about Spider Man two, which I've 227 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,200 been playing. Oh cool for like a couple months, very slowly, 228 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,879 Like I think I'm like ten hours in over the 229 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:36,360 course of like literally two months, so I'm just chipping 230 00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:38,159 away everyone. So I haven't really played a lot of 231 00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:40,799 games recently. I blasted through Requiel, but other than that, 232 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,759 not really gaming a ton right now for whatever reason. 233 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:48,600 But yeah, Spider Man two tons of fun so far. Unsurprisingly, 234 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,399 I think one of the things that I actually randomly 235 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,240 like the most is just like the expansion of the 236 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,240 map and going like across the bridges to like the 237 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,360 more suburb areas on like the I guess it would 238 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,639 be what would that be that's like the east side 239 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,679 of the map, I suppose, okay, which is weird because 240 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,000 it's like, you know, there isn't like super tall buildings there, 241 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,519 so you think, like the swinging is like a little 242 00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:10,519 bit less, but there's like tons of trees everywhere. You 243 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,639 can still like attached to non existent buildings, of course, 244 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,200 because they just make it so you can fly around 245 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,080 and whatnot. But I don't know, it just seemed like 246 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,519 a fun addition to have this kind of totally different 247 00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:22,039 area to explore, and it feels like in general everything's 248 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,879 just like a little bit a little bit bigger, even 249 00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,039 though it's quite familiar, and then obviously adding like the 250 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,440 wingsuit and because you're going more across the bridges and stuff, 251 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,799 having like the water movement of like skitting around on 252 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,480 the water and then like swinging underneath the bridges or 253 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,080 like you know, doing the ziplash thing to like go 254 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,759 across the boats and whatnot. Just like I feel like 255 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:44,559 even more fun things to the locomotion, which is kind 256 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,240 of surprising because the game already like moves super well. 257 00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,399 But even just all these things, there's like aerial drafts, 258 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,360 right because of like the wingsuit and whatnot. But yeah, 259 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,000 I feel like just moving around, Like sometimes I just 260 00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:57,720 boot up the game, don't even like do anything, I 261 00:10:57,799 --> 00:10:59,879 just just fly around and I just kind of get 262 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,000 the satisfaction out of playing it that way. Then obviously, 263 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,559 like the two characters feel a little bit different as well, 264 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,320 even though they're mostly got the same move set. But 265 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,759 I think that was like, yeah, maybe I just again, 266 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960 it's so much fun to move around in those games, 267 00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:14,080 and they've somehow even added more to that. It makes 268 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000 me wonder like how that's gonna feel in Wolverine, Like 269 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,639 how fun is it gonna be a move in Wolverine, 270 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,399 especially compared to their last games, they could feel like 271 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,320 sluggish and clunky. 272 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 3: I don't know, And yeah, I feel like he still 273 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,559 moves pretty fluidly though, like Wolverine, even though he's not 274 00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:31,639 swinging around like he's still you know, he's an animalybe 275 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:32,919 use the bike. 276 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,519 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just for cutscenes or if 277 00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:36,919 you actually get to drive. We'll have to wait and see. 278 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, that's awesome. How are you liking like the 279 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:43,679 story so far? Yeah, it's all that. 280 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I mean, I guess it's a lot more. 281 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:49,080 It feels a lot more fractured than the first game, 282 00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,240 just because you are I guess like for the story, 283 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:52,600 it's kind of like, Okay, if you want to progress 284 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,200 the main story, you gotta like play Miles right now, 285 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,639 you gotta play Peter. But it just feels like there's 286 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,080 a lot more going on. It feels somewhat us focused 287 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,240 so far. But at the same time, I feel like 288 00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:05,279 this is very much like a it's almost like a 289 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,799 sandbox playground type of game anyway, so to just kind 290 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,519 of let you do whatever you want, Like obviously, it's 291 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,639 so easy to get distracted because anytime you go anywhere, 292 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,039 it's like, oh, there's a crime happening one hundred meters away, 293 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,240 and it's like, Okay, I'm gonna spend thirty seconds doing that, 294 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:19,120 and then oh, there's a backpack on there and go do that. 295 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,159 Oh there's a quest over here.

I like 328 00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:44,120 the mission pretty early on with Peter and Harry when 329 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,919 they're like it's like a flashback to them in high 330 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:47,639 school and they're like sneaking through the high school doing 331 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:50,840 all this fun stuff. It just feels like it feels 332 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:52,399 like the in the first game when you have a 333 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,240 Miles or MJ missions, but like just more engaging. These 334 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,919 ones are because you actually like have powers and can 335 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,120 still move around and stuff and fun ways. So yeah, 336 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,279 it feels like they kind of took out some of 337 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,200 those more like slower slower parts, and especially now that 338 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,279 Myles has powers of his own, so if you're playing 339 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,960 as him, you're getting like exhilarating gameplay and all that. 340 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:12,399 But yeah, I don't know, is that how you felt 341 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:14,960 early on?

But I I'm trying to remember because 352 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,440 I of course got super distracted and was doing all 353 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,480 the photos and backpacks and stuff like that. But I 354 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,440 can't remember if I just did that, like do some 355 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,200 of that and then and then a mission, or if 356 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,039 I was just grinding out like all of the stuff 357 00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:51,120 in the certain areas. It's been a couple of years 358 00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:53,080 now since I jumped in there, but I mean, just 359 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,639 you talking about it makes me want to jump back 360 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,519 in and just swing around, because yeah, those man the 361 00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:01,120 like the wingsuit audition with like the like the air 362 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,600 drafts and everything. It's just it's crazy some of the 363 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:06,120 stuff you can do, like movement wise, and yeah, they 364 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,120 definitely upgraded that from the first game. But no, I 365 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,600 remember really really enjoying the story with Harry and all 366 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,879 that on my first go around. Yeah, but there's definitely 367 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,120 some mild stuff brewing, so it's not like it's all 368 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320 slice of life for him, so you can look forward 369 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,559 for that. 370 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I like too, Like I feel like the 371 00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,360 first game had obviously I had a bunch of suits, 372 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480 really unique ones, but I think the it's new right 373 00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:31,159 that they have like the palette swaps for each of 374 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,639 the suits. Now, yeah, it's like four variations. So I 375 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:36,120 like that obviously in terms of the customization, that's fun. 376 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Enemy types, like I feel like so far. That's another 377 00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,039 thing too, because the combat, like it can get a 378 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,159 little bit stale now that we're like at the trilogy 379 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,399 of a game, and it's you know, it is fun, 380 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:47,440 but it does get a little bit same. At least 381 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,320 that's the way I do it. I just kind of 382 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,159 fall into my old tricks. There's so many things on 383 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:52,679 the skill tree though, to like mix it up and 384 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,360 use different strategies and whatnot. But I think they've done 385 00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:57,720 a good job with the enemy types, like all the 386 00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,840 sand sand enemies. I like fighting those guys, and they're 387 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:02,559 just kind of all over the place, and that whole 388 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,399 Sandman sequence right at the start of the game is 389 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,279 really really fun, and I like that. It like feels 390 00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:09,200 like it actually takes the city like weeks to unravel 391 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,240 from that because there's still like just sand everywhere. Certain 392 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,000 parts of the city are still just covered in sand, 393 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,799 like they're just still recovering from this. And then you 394 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,039 have like the robot dog things you got, like the 395 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,480 flying robots as well the little bird ones. So yeah, 396 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,240 I feel like there's a even more enemy variety than 397 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,159 there there was before. At least it feels that way 398 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:29,679 as someone who hasn't jumped back in since I guess 399 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,679 Miles in twenty twenty, so it's been a few years 400 00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:35,360 for me here and then yeah. I think the other 401 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,720 thing too, is I kind of forget how much I 402 00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:42,200 really enjoyed the stealthy missions in this first Spider Man game, 403 00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:44,440 right of just like kind of going around the outside 404 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,720 of the map in a very ghostestu streamer way of like, Okay, 405 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,399 I'm gonna pick off the guys that are kind of 406 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,000 not being seen by anyone else. Maybe make a distraction 407 00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,600 over here to take this guy out. And now you 408 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360 can like make the webline like across two surfaces to 409 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,399 like make an extra spot for you to go and 410 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,159 sneak up and like pull a guy up and knock 411 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,159 them out. So yeah, I think I forgot how much 412 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,680 I enjoyed those sequences. But yeah, some of them are 413 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,079 pretty tough, Like they'll just throw like thirty enemies at you. 414 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,039 And it's if you don't do a ton of stealthy 415 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:11,200 in first before you get into like the huge action, 416 00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,440 It's like it's freaking hard to deal with that stuff. 417 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,440 There's like six guys shooting rock launches at you, guys 418 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,559 with ars over here, and then people charge you shields 419 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,400 and whatnot. It's I'm a little bit rusty, for sure, 420 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,319 But yeah, Sober I have a really good good time 421 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,519 with it, even though I'm not not super deep in 422 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,160 obviously nice. 423 00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good game to just pluck away here 424 00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:31,680 and there. 425 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I definitely wanted to. I want to 426 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,039 put it to bed before Wolverine comes out, now that 427 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,759 there's any continuity finishing there, but just in terms of 428 00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:42,240 catching up on the Insomniac stuff, so I have plenty 429 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,839 of time. I don't know, it's like what twenty hour 430 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,359 game for the main story or something like that. 431 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,519 Speaker 3: Uh, it's a little bit longer than the first game 432 00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,160 I remember, but I think it's less than twenty I 433 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,480 don't know. 434 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,319 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I don't know. I've been screwing around a 435 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,640 little bit. So yeah, I probably probably a little bit 436 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,720 behind the curve in terms in terms of just messing 437 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,880 around little too much. Just looking at the details again, 438 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,039 hanging on the suburbs a lot, just looking at stuff, 439 00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:07,359 you know, I do now that I'm like doing these 440 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,759 this YouTube channel, I'm just like looking at things more 441 00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:11,880 in games, and I'm just going around these suburbs, looking 442 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,240 at these houses, looking at the cause. One thing I 443 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:17,440 love about the First Spider Man was that like tech 444 00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:20,359 they added where there's like kind of an image inside 445 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:22,839 of all the apartment building windows, so it like looks 446 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,880 like there is a room inside there, you know, and 447 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,240 if you go up close, it's just like a two 448 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:28,440 D image, but from afar it looks really good, and 449 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,079 they've made those like even better in this game where 450 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,880 they actually are like a three D environment in there. 451 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,319 There's still a lot of like tricking the eye with 452 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,519 like two D images and stuff. But I'm just going 453 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,079 up to buildings and there's like a you know, an 454 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,559 office that looks like a therapist office or something. There's 455 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:43,279 someone working at the desk, and there's a guy sitting 456 00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:45,240 in the waiting waiting room chair, and then if you 457 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,839 look too closely, it's like, oh yeah, right above that 458 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,200 office there's the exact same office with the exact same 459 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,119 guy in the exact same clothes. And it's like it 460 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,519 takes you o to the illusion a little bit because 461 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:54,799 it's you know, you're not really supposed to look at that. 462 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:56,279 You're supposed to just kind of have it in your 463 00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,759 peripheral vision or whatever. But I'm having a grand old 464 00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:01,880 time just being like, wait, the scale of this room 465 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,480 doesn't make sense for the size of this building, and 466 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,039 just uh yeah, just a very There's so much to 467 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,440 observe in this game, and so I'm just having fun 468 00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:11,599 just kind of being part of the city and just 469 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,400 cruising around. And yeah, like I said, not really mainlining 470 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,599 it in any in any sense, because obviously I don't 471 00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:18,599 got to review it. I you know, I'm already two 472 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,920 years late on the conversation, so I might as well 473 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,480 just kind of go at my own pace, right, So. 474 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely that's what you should play games. 475 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. 476 00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: I mean it took me fucking what nine years to 477 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,920 finally beat Ella Ring. 478 00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: Hey, however long it's been, but you've done it, and 479 00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:34,880 that's impressive. 480 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Two other games all quickly showed up. I actually 481 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,519 played these a little bit of go, but I haven't 482 00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:42,200 haven't brought them up on the podcast yet. First is 483 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,200 a game called word Factory, which is one that I 484 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,480 had on my wish list for absolutely ever and then 485 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,720 we think it was like Over the Winter the Steam 486 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,240 Winter Sail. It's word Factory with an eye at the 487 00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:53,920 end instead of instead of a Y if you're if 488 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,640 you're googling it, I had on my wishless forever. It 489 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,599 went like really really cheap over the Winter Sale. I 490 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,079 decided to finally pick it up. It's a very cute 491 00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:06,640 little puzzle game about making taking letters and kind of 492 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,720 fabricating them, making little machines, making little engines. Almost it 493 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,079 very much like the screen is a very much like 494 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:14,720 a little blueprint or like a little scratch pad kind 495 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,160 of set up to it. Like it's not like meant 496 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,519 to be some big immersive world or whatever. But it 497 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,000 starts out very simple, Like you have like the letter I, 498 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,240 and then you shoot out that letter I into like 499 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,559 another device that will take the eye and kind of 500 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,640 like squish it and turn it into a C. Or 501 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:32,440 or you'll you know, put the eye up into a 502 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,720 device that like rotates it, so now it's an eye 503 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:36,960 on its side. It's like a side sideways line. And 504 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,519 then you can take like that C and that sideways 505 00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:41,640 line you combine it and you'll get like different letters 506 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,160 and things like that. You could take the C, flip 507 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,759 it around and now you have like a P essentially. 508 00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:48,680 Or if you get two of those c's and you 509 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,000 combine them together with an I, now you'll make like 510 00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:53,759 a B. And then you can shoot those off into 511 00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:56,319 make make like the whatever word you're being given at 512 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,319 that point in time, and then you know, just a 513 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,079 little improved's on top of that other little funny machines combining. 514 00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:05,599 Now you can combine two elements, three elements, four elements 515 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,720 at a time. And then eventually it gets to the point, 516 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,599 like the first few levels, it's not a whole lot 517 00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:10,799 of machines going on there. You still have a ton 518 00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:12,960 of your screen blank. But even like as far as 519 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,680 I've gotten into it, which is not too far, you're 520 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,519 just having huge a screen full of machines going everywhere. 521 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,240 And then it's fun, like it's really easy if you 522 00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:22,599 just kind of screw up or something. It's really easy 523 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,960 to just reset, reset up a line, move something over here, 524 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,920 put something else down. Like it's not like a frustrating 525 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,119 game in that way. It's just like a fun trial 526 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,960 error type thing. And I'm sure it can get a 527 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,720 little more intense in some of the harder levels or 528 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,119 something where you have like limited space and other challenges. 529 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,759 I think there's like a lot of custom content too, 530 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:40,720 whether that's like through mod support or just like in 531 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,039 game tools. I wasn't exactly sure, but I don't know. 532 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,720 It seems like a game that I think it has 533 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,960 like a weekly challenge or a daily challenge or something too. 534 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,920 So I don't know. It seems like there's a lot 535 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,039 going on for what is like otherwise like a pretty 536 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:54,160 simple concept. It almost feels like an iOS game or 537 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,640 something like. It is nice to have the space and 538 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,240 play on like an actual screen. But yeah, if anyone's 539 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,599 looking for like a cute little puzz game, that was like, 540 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,200 I think like five bucks when I picked it up 541 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,279 on Steam. Checkout the word Factory. Pretty cool. 542 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's really interesting concept. I feel like there's 543 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,599 not enough word games out there. My mind always goes 544 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,119 back to the good ole all the right type. 545 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: Did you ever play like type? Oh? 546 00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was so bad at I'm still really bad. 547 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,839 I don't like spend how much time on a computer 548 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,359 game right now programming. I am so bad at typing. 549 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,039 Speaker 2: I don't know why I I feel that sometimes I'm 550 00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:28,640 like typing things. 551 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,319 Speaker 3: I'm like I should I should be really good at this, 552 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,599 but like it really should be just a second language. 553 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: I still do at this point with my hands and 554 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,960 like where they tell you in all the right type 555 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,880 of put yeah, no, that's that's fright, like I do 556 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,119 usually my right hand is like I'm just yeah, it's 557 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,920 it's w A s D. You know, that's where my 558 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,279 hands go exactly. I got the I got the game, 559 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,839 Rockey down. Yeah, otherwise I'm a hot mess. Thankfully, none 560 00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:52,839 of that matters for Word Factory. It's a different kind 561 00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:54,359 of word game. Yeah, it's funny word. I feel like 562 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,519 word games have been making a bit of a comeback. 563 00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:58,960 I've seen a lot of them recently, just with the 564 00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:02,759 Bilottro couple of years ago, and now every developer making 565 00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:05,200 like a Blottro rip off, like that concept, but with 566 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,119 other things there's one so many like like scrabble Blotro games, 567 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,319 other word Blotroe type things. So yeah, I've seen seen 568 00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:14,400 a lot of word games recently, so, but this one's 569 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,400 definitely distinct from those those kind of things. This isn't 570 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,720 like a roguelike or anything. It's just a linear puzzle game. 571 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,000 And then the last game I wanted to shout out 572 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:25,039 again not when I'm super duper farign that's pol Just 573 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:26,720 for the broken record here, I haven't rolled credits on 574 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,039 any of these, but Kirkland I I picked up and 575 00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:31,200 have been playing a little bit of a Divinity original sin. 576 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,319 I don't know, I don't know what it was about 577 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,200 the Larians. Yeah, yeah, that's that's Larian's series that they 578 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,279 were working on before they did bulders Gate three, so 579 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,839 they need Original Sin. Then they did Original Sin two, 580 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,279 which is I hear. I still even to this day 581 00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:48,119 hear a lot of people who have played all these 582 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,720 games say that, like Divinity, Original Sin too is like 583 00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:52,799 even better than bulgers Gate three. It's just like an 584 00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:56,200 amazing game. Yeah, which is kind of surprising because balders 585 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,160 Kate three is like one of the best games ever. 586 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119 It's like, you know, critically, I don't know a single 587 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,160 person who doesn't like it. I love it personally, so 588 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,240 so much replayability and stuff in there. But yeah, somehow 589 00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:08,440 they maybe even did a little bit better before. But 590 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:10,480 I felt, well, there was two reasons. One is this 591 00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:11,880 was a lot cheaper the first one. It was like 592 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,680 six dollars or something, and I felt like I maybe 593 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,759 wanted to build up to it, maybe experience a little 594 00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:18,079 bit more of the world. I don't know. I'm sure 595 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,559 you could just jump in the second one and it's 596 00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:21,880 fine in terms of like the story and just picking 597 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359 up wherever it is, but yeah, I kind of wanted 598 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,680 to just go back and see what this is, and 599 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,200 this is like a remastered version or enhanced version or 600 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,079 something like that, so it doesn't feel like old and janky. 601 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,039 I guess the main it really plays a lot like Buldersgate. 602 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:37,480 It feels different in the sense that I played Bauldersgate 603 00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:40,079 on console and I'm playing this on PC, and so 604 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,240 obviously the controls and layout of a ballders Gate type 605 00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:46,759 game is feels like much better for a PC type 606 00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,319 game and interface in general, so it just feels like 607 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,400 better in that way. But otherwise it's kind of funny, 608 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,680 like how similar this feels balders Gate three, because I 609 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,000 just felt like it kind of came out of nowhere 610 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,839 and like they didn't work on bulders Gate two or whatever. 611 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,519 You know, it was like Larry just him on nowhere 612 00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:01,920 to make this game, which now they're like one of 613 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,400 the biggest developers in the world, and in terms of 614 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,880 like fan I guess, prestision all that kind of stuff. 615 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,000 But yeah, it's like they really had this formula down 616 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,880 for years and years, because this plays and feels like 617 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,279 a whole heck of a lot like Balder's Gate. You know, 618 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,200 they definitely have honed a lot of things. Things feel 619 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,599 a lot better, and balders get a lot more. Things 620 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,759 feel quite intuitive, but also a lot of things don't 621 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,960 at sometimes because if you don't have like that super 622 00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:26,839 deep knowledge of D and D, like you're already kind 623 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:28,480 of a little bit behind the curve when you jump 624 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,319 into a game like that. But I really like the 625 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,079 initial setup of this game, Like you have like kind 626 00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:36,839 of a little tutorial area, a couple of little encounters, 627 00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:39,279 and then you get dropped into a town and there's 628 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,680 kind of like a mystery in this town, and so 629 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,720 it's really fun just kind of going building to building 630 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,759 one it introduces you to the town, but also you're 631 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,680 trying to unravel the mystery, like, oh, this guy seemed 632 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,960 a little bit suss maybe, like later in the day, 633 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,559 I'm gonna come back and like break into his house 634 00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:53,519 and like see if I can find any clues here 635 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,960 or go to the graveyard. Got to dig up this grave. 636 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,920 Then oh that's a dead sheep. That's not a human body. 637 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,200 What the fuck happened here? Well, I'm trying to find 638 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,839 this guy, but he's not even here. So early on, 639 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,880 like the the little mystery novel kind of vibe of 640 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,920 it is is hitting right, So I like the kind 641 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,759 of the start of the game. Yeah, and like combat 642 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:14,960 and all that stuff feels very similar to Baller's Gate. 643 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,240 The character creation feels, you know, like a light version 644 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,640 of what Balersgate three was. It's a little more simplified. 645 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,759 The only thing that I find kind of weird is 646 00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,160 like your characters will have You have two characters in 647 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,160 this game. I don't know if it grows beyond that, 648 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,519 but you get too at the beginning and you create 649 00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:35,880 both of them, and if they like feel differently about 650 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,599 you know, obviously you're the character picking their choices, but 651 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,759 like let's say, you know, it's like the classic like oh, 652 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,599 violence or peace route, and one of my characters, I'm like, Okay, 653 00:26:43,599 --> 00:26:45,720 this guy's more like violence, the other one's more like peace. 654 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,279 And so sometimes they're like bicker and you can kind 655 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:50,519 of pick the dialogue options, but then they'll do like 656 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:54,039 this really weird like simulated rock paper scissors thing to 657 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,079 like determine who like wins the argument and like you know, 658 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,319 the gig you and you end up going with that 659 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,279 person's and that outcome, and it just it feels very weird, 660 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,119 like it's not extremely immersive it's a little bit janky, 661 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,400 so we'll see. I think I like was even reading 662 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,359 and seeing on like the the I think it's like 663 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,319 on the the mod page for it is just like 664 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,240 so many mods like remove that, people like, yeah, this 665 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:18,920 thing is stupid, Like we just want to remove this 666 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,599 from the game. Uh this is this is not very enjoyable. 667 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,519 So that's like the only conso far. But otherwise, really 668 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:26,920 like the world, really like the characters, the setup, and 669 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,680 in terms of like that classic you know, it's not 670 00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:31,480 D and D branded, it's not the same names for spells, 671 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,880 but it's the same idea and rolling dice and all 672 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,079 that kind of fun stuff, and uh yeah, it's it's 673 00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:37,480 really fun to go back to a little bit more 674 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,279 of the roots of Larrying. I mean, I think their 675 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,960 roots are much deeper than this. This is kind of 676 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,319 more when they found their found their groove a little bit. 677 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,200 But uh yeah, I would recommend it as as obviously 678 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,680 you're a fan of bulders Gate three, I think you'd 679 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,079 like this as well, So yeah, put it on the 680 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,480 put it on the on the radar. It's it's a 681 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,480 fun time to go back to this. 682 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 683 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,839 Speaker 3: The seconde's been on my radar for a long time. 684 00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,440 I had a friend like years ago, like I feel 685 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,039 like early early stages of the podcast era. He was 686 00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:05,799 telling me about that game, and it just looked intimidating 687 00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:07,599 to get into, especially at that point, like I had 688 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,039 never even played D and D, so it would have 689 00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:12,279 been a big chomp, you know, to try and swallow 690 00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:15,440 and get down. But I mean, now that I've experienced 691 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,720 baulders Gate played D and D, it definitely would be 692 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,759 on my alley. 693 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 2: What was that new title that they have coming out 694 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,599 that they just like teased. 695 00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: It's just called Divinity. 696 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: I think, right, Okay, yeah, that's interesting. 697 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I don't know what the connection is that 698 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,319 it's dropping the original sin Moniker, but I guess they're 699 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,440 going back to this world and system. So that that 700 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,039 was another reason why I wanted to jump into this, 701 00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:36,559 because I wanted to get a little bit of that 702 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:39,599 backstory for It's kind of like when a voud came 703 00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:41,519 out last year and I went back and checked out 704 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,920 a little bit of Pillars of Eternity from abstde Age 705 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,119 because set in the same world. So it's nice to 706 00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:50,319 get kind of introduced to that environment with the spells 707 00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:52,359 and characters and the vibe and the tone and all 708 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,880 that stuff is like. But yeah, I mean, even that 709 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,960 Divinity trailer very different vibes so far from what this 710 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,799 game is like. So we'll see how much of it 711 00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:02,559 is change a reboot or if it is kind of 712 00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:05,240 more more of the same going forward. But yeah, it's 713 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,599 it's just cool to see what the studio was up 714 00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:08,720 to years and years ago. 715 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome, Yeah cool. 716 00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,279 Speaker 1: How about with that we take our first break of 717 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:19,200 the show.

Dlc there's like the design going on, There 1788 01:17:21,159 --> 01:17:24,319 BUT i think it might be like possibly the biggest 1789 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:29,159 arena in all Of soul's, fights, possibly even though it's 1790 01:17:29,159 --> 01:17:32,000 like a small fight against like one. Guy BUT i 1791 01:17:32,039 --> 01:17:34,840 love the intro of it because you just enter this like, huge, 1792 01:17:35,399 --> 01:17:39,399 endless like like just sand dune.
